ok so I have a 2.4 ghz core 2dou laptop with 2 gigs ram. It runs 12 copies of d2 while web browsing OR 8 copies, play a movie and webbrowsing... and thats all it can handle.

I'm looking for the cheapest desktop/tower i can buy that will run 32 copies of D2, run a movie vie hdmi and web brows at the same time.

This is how i figured out i need a min of 8 gigs of ram. I took what resources i have/use and multiplied it by 4 (because i run 8 and need 32...8x4=32.

I used cpubenchmark.net to benchmark my cpu and timsed that by 4 to get a benchmark of 4000.

So minimum cpu i need is one with a benchmark of 4,000 according to cpubenchmark.net.

This is cpu/gpu/ram i was considering.

A10 5800k w/ 8gigs of ddr3 1600 ram.

I'd like opinions on my choice and other cpu/gpu/ram i might need.

Remember i want the least expensive only so to run 32 copies of D2, watch a movie and web brows.


Thanks guys.

Why in the world.. would you want to run 32 copies of d2

can OC the cpu. not sure that you would benefit from additional cores going with amd.
i mean.. it's d2...

bots..

Give me a budget and I'll set you up

cos x32 on drop rate duhh

16gb of ram should be enough for your needs.
If you feel like getting more, get more but you should have enough with 16gb of ram until you extend the amount of bots you want to run.
